Tens of businessmen. 20 is indeed a score. Indonesians tend not to use the words "dozens" or "a score"; instead, they say "berpuluh-puluh" or "tens of", or "dua-puluhan" or "some 20". Antara's articles are generally translated into English by translators, not journalists. And these translators usually lack the advantages of being taught English by clever expatriates.
And the fact that Mari Pagestu's son attends a boarding school outside Melbourne has nothing to do with her frequent trips to Australia.
